Division of Otolaryngology

 How to Reach Us

During Treatment

Our Division treats an estimated 13,000 patients annually – from newborns to young adults – including 4,000 patients at our affiliated satellite offices in the Glendale, San Fernando Valley, and Beverly Hills.

Few programs on the West Coast are as comprehensive in the treatment of children with a full spectrum of head and neck conditions.

Our board-certified specialists are capable of treating virtually any otolaryngology problem that may arise.

Our physicians contribute their expertise as members of the hospital's Airway Center, Children’s Oncology Group (in the removal of head and neck tumors and masses), respected Trauma Program, and the craniofacial team. 

In addition, the Division maintains a focused complement of clinical research, designed to realize long-term benefits for children with airway disorders and problems of the ear, nose and throat.
